Well, the Oscars are over. Once again we endured the usual proprietary blend of boredom and angst, and once again the red carpet was haunted by the bloodless wraith formerly known as Nicole Kidman.
But there was fun stuff, too! And a lot of it clocked in at 140 characters or less and occupied the realms of #Oscars and #Oscars2013. Whether it was the now-ubiquitous Hathaway mocking (we won’t lie, we’re definitely not Team Anne), bold statements from Jeff Daniels, or just totally spot-on truths from Tavi Gevinson, we were right there.
Here are 22 of the tweets we loved most!
Again: The Oscars ignore Comedy until they need a Host. Last time I looked, the Greeks were holding up two masks. #Oscars
